Are we searching for truth and meaning in the world of the ego or the Kingdom of God?


Your past learning must have taught you the wrong things, simply because it has not made you happy. On this basis alone its value should be questioned. If learning aims at change, and that is always its purpose, are you satisfied with the changes your learning has brought you? Dissatisfaction with learning outcomes is a sign of learning failure, since it means that you did not get what you wanted. T-8.I.4:1-4

The world of the ego teaches us all kinds of things which are false and not in our or our fellow humans best interest. Have the things of the ego made you happy?


In Unitarian Universalism some of us join together to affirm and promote the free and responsible search for truth and meaning. What is it we are searching for? And where are we searching? How satisfying and fulfilling has our search been so far?


Today it is suggested that we consider whether our search for truth and meaning is more satisfying and fulfilling in looking for things in the world of the ego or the Kingdom of God.
